Mom take heart in the fact that not even the best propagandists can make people believe the guy that just lost his head, is alive, walking about, and putting up his feet on the table in a fun party. All one has to do is to be willing to escalate beyond the fiction of the Ruling class, into pure violence.
 
Which is sort of why there’s a lot of desire to bottle up the truth, since it also prevents people from being motivated enough to “escalate” the matter into a realm where the state cannot propagandize about.

Nazi propaganda chief Jpseph Goebbels was the master of the “big lie” tactic in which a lie, no matter how outrageous, is repeated often enough that it will eventually be accepted as truth. Goebbels explained:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Mom Mon, 25 Feb 2013 00:13:01 +0000 http://www.bookwormroom.com/?p=26872#comment-152642 It always bitterly amused me how the Tea Parties (because it is a particpant, distributed, and non-centrally-organized movement) were always accused of being Koch funded. I was there at the beginning of a local Tea Party, and swear to god, we funded ourselves through passing the hat at meetings and through the various and eagerly offered skills and resources of volunteers. No one had ever heard of the Koch brothers back then. Now they are the prog version of Emmanuel Goldstein. Ready for the Two-Minute Prog Hate! It’s totally depressing, to see the Big Lie in action.
